Anna Diop cast as Starfire.

Not familiar with the actress, but what clips there are of her suggests that Anna Diop can act.  Really, the issue is with how they write the character.  I pretty much want Starfire to be the Starfire from the first, actually good, Teen Titans animated show; and I’m, and going to stay, unreasonable about this.

Could… could DC be planning to NOT screw up the live-action (Teen) Titans show?

Mayyyyybe:

EXCLUSIVE: Australian newcomer Teagan Croft has landed one of the leads, the series regular role of Raven, in the new live-action series Titans, from Greg Berlanti, Akiva Goldsman, Geoff Johns, Sarah Schechter and Warner Bros TV. The series is slated to premiere in 2018 as one of the first series that will launch a DC-branded direct-to-consumer digital service.

Here’s the thing: Teagan Croft is 13.  Which is compatible with a Teen Titans show, and it also suggests that we’re going to get something that’s, you know, family-friendly and whatnot. Because I don’t care if it’s direct-to-consumer, people are going to start screaming if they sexualize characters being portrayed by nigh-literal tweens.

Also, Teagan Croft’s facial features just kind of looks right for Raven. They’ll need to dye her hair, of course. But that’s easy enough.
